Subject: Re: [PATCH] - SPARSEMEM - Change pfn to unsigned long
Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2005 14:53:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050603145328.GA19217@shadowen.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050601164102.GA15563@sgi.com>

Seems we arn't using unsigned long everywhere in sparsemem.  Tested on
my test boxes.  Thanks to Jack for finding this.

Andrew please apply to -mm.

-apw

== 8< =The latest 2.6.12-rc5-mm2 will not boot on large SGI systems. "pfn"
was assigned to an "int". Large systems overflow an int.
Trivial fix & it works ok now.....
